Singapore: Blog “Queen” in Another Controversy · Global Voices
Jose Manuel Tesoro

Recall Xiaxue, who soon after New Year's 2006 started an online petition to ban aerosol foam sprays from Singapore after unhappy encounters with both foam sprays and Bangladeshi foreign workers on New Year's Eve?  No you don't.  But many Singapore bloggers do.  Some have accused her of thinly-veiled racism against South Asians.  The controversy continues to reverberate, with recent accusations that she has misused her editorial privileges at Singapore blog aggregator tomorrow.sg to redact comments critical of her.  Last year, Singapore prosecuted several bloggers for racist comments.  Unfortunately for Xiaxue, an extremely popular local blogger, she could prove to be a tempting target.  In the meantime, Asiapundit gives us a play-by-play of the Singapore blogfight.
